Banner in courtesy of who ever made it. Just borrowing it.


So like anyone who has nothing better to do on a Sunday night before class, I just surf the web and check on the latest news (world, gaming or what ever else you do). While I was checking on my esports news I stumbled upon some of the IEM European qualifiers that have been going on (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and etc.) and eventually was lead to this page on the Intel Extreme Masters site.

http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/europe_sc2_nq/#/masters/season5/europe_sc2_nq/

It has the list of all the players that have qualified for the European Championship and it also says which one of them have to go through qualifying rounds before getting into the EU Championship. So I'll just go ahead and list them here.

Please note that I might have some of the flags or race wrong. Chances are I forgot a player as well. If you see a mistake don't panic just post it and I'll fix it. About the race, I do not know all of these players but I found out about most of them through GosuGamers, VODs and the ESL replays of them.

I do not work for ESL but since I opened this thread I might as well help out if anyone has trouble understanding anything. Some of you might probably wonder WTF the qualification rounds are for. Basically, due to the skill level between some of these countries ("rankings"), they presume that for some players it's much easier to qualify then others. So they give out less slots and also make them work harder to get in to the European Championship, which is where they want to be.

WTF is qualification round 1+2?
+ Show Spoiler +

http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/europe_sc2_nq/#/masters/season5/europe_sc2_qr/

- The Qualification Round 1 is the first round for international competition. The national representants are decided through National Cups and as they go in to the Qualification Round 1 (QR1), everything is at stake to first move on to QR2, and the goal: the European Championship.

- The last battle that 24 players take on is the Qualification Round 2. Half of them are known from the National Ranking, while the other eighteen comes from QR1. Winners here head in to the European Championship of Intel Extreme Masters season 5.


The European Championship will work similar to the American one. Players will go through best-of-3 round robin group stages. Top player advances to the European Championship LAN finals. I think they make #2 play against #3 from a different group to determine who else goes I kinda forgot about this part.

F.A.Q.
+ Show Spoiler +
Why were so many Terran invited?
They were not invited. They qualified.

Why are there so many Terran?
I don't know and I don't care.

Terran?
NO!

I count 6 zergs. You made a mistake, there must be more?
-_-" No. Well maybe.
UPDATE #1: Yes I did make a mistake. Ourk is not Zerg. He plays Terran.

MorroW already qualified for the global finals, why is he there?
Money, sex and glory.

No TLO? WHAT!
He did not play in the qualifiers.

Why no Koreans?
It's the Intel Extreme Master European Championship. You figure it out.

How were these seeds determined?
Important thing to know is that ESL seeds by country and not player. They have a ranking to decide that which can be found here - http://www.esl-world.net/masters/country_ranking_season_5/

Is that the real Draco?
Yes. That is [image loading] Krzysztof "Draco" Nalepka himself.

Is SaJer LucifroN?
No. He just happens to be a Terran player who is also from Spain who plays for Team Wizards.


The first thread I have ever created on TL.net. Hopefully it's a good one and I look forward to contributing more to this community. I know some of you will be shocked after seeing the all the players that qualify but please try not to derail the thread into a flame wars and have it closed.

first of all, thanks for the write-up, the esl rules had me confused for a while, and their site is a mess to navigate on.

Second: lolled hard at the skyhigh comment :')

And yes, that is a shit-ton of terran's. And it makes me kind of sad as a zerg.

In the currently qualified we have 2 zerg's in total. None in the first round
And 3 in the second round.

I have never heard of these guys in the second round before, and seeing that they have to win there, and then go trough a 24 player field with a lot of strong names I really don't expect any of them to actually qualify.

So that means that the zerg hope of getting a good place for a zerg in IEM is basicly on the back of dimaga (<3 dimaga, hope you do well).

For the rest, ugh, this is not good for sc2 (and yes I don't care what the reason is, for all I care all the EU p&z sucks, and the T's are really just that good), going into a big event like this, having a PvT now and then with some minor PvP/ZvT/ZvP (wich will only be a couple of games) and then 80% of the other games being a TvT mirror will be extremely boring imo.

This is how every tournament looks in europe right now. Top 8 is generally made up of only terrans with the exception of DIMAGA and Socke who sometimes manages to place high.

After a while of following the EU scene you get kinda fed up with TvT's.

There is alot of really strong terrans in europe and they are dominating right now.

oh man, devastating results in the Austrian qualifier, despite winning the winner's bracket, bioboyAT was unable to defeat xEi in the grand finals. Terrible news as I've heard that bioboyAT rocks!

As a side note, I feel like I want to take Russia and Norway aside and have a pep talk, what happened guys? You're the land of so many BW and War3 greats, but I only see a couple of names i recognize in the qualifier brackets, tell those kids to start playing

You're surprised at the lack of Protoss?

Protoss gets absolutely smashed by Terran.

Well who the hell are these guys and how did they get straight seeded into the finals. I've never heard of either of them and my forte on Liquipedia is knowing who players are.

If they just waddled through their country's qualification and got seeded on the Back of one successful player from their country... I dunno, that doesn't sound right.

Maybe it's my inability to comprehend English, but didn't they qualify for it? I'm not really following what you are wanting say with it.

He's asking why they were given direct seed in the championship and not the qualification rounds. Unfortunately I don't exactly know how ESL does their seeding for SC2 but they have a ranking to decide that.

Well who the hell are these guys and how did they get straight seeded into the finals. I've never heard of either of them and my forte on Liquipedia is knowing who players are.

If they just waddled through their country's qualification and got seeded on the Back of one successful player from their country... I dunno, that doesn't sound right.


Who are they? Random terran scrubs with 60apm and no multitasking coming out of nowhere.

Yepp. I'm actually looking forward to seing a cup where there is room for say 5 of each race + 1 to make it possible.

At this point I am for strongly nerfing Terrans just so players switch back to other races and we can watch some more interesting tournaments. Do not even care about balance, just give us back all kind of MU during tournaments, not mostly TvT or TvP or TvZ in all games.

He's asking why they were given direct seed in the championship and not the qualification rounds. Unfortunately I don't exactly know how ESL does their seeding for SC2 but they have a ranking to decide that.

http://www.esl-world.net/masters/country_ranking_season_5/


Seems a pretty random way of allocating player spots considering its a 1v1 game.. maybe if it was an international team pro-league or something that would work out ok, but as everyone is playing for themselves and country makes no difference in this I can't figure at all why that's the way they do it.

The worst part is that the 1.1 wont address any heavy improvement in TvsXXX matches, so we are gonna be stuck for at least another month suffering borings TvsX tournaments.

And I really dislike the idea of heavy nerf terran and remove valid strategies, cause then terran will be bored to play aswell.

For example, most of the games you see Bioball whole time, if they nerf tanks, then it will be more strange to see mech games.

thats so sad actually...

PS: congratz Ts now you all can have your most hated matchup TvTs all the way lol. everyone hates to play vs T even Ts themselves lmao.

It kinda feels to me when I'm playing that ZvT is balanced... except that what I'm doing is 10x harder and that I'll never be able to beat a terran of equal skill.

I think this is the problem.

The race distribution is funny and sad at the same time. As I've said before, blizzard would hit with their heads on the walls until they fixed imbalances, mainly to do with terran. Let's see how much head beating they will do until they decide to fix them.

Is it a terran championship ?

Seriously, the player pool is so good, hope to be able to watch that or get a hold of the replay.

Not only does imbalance make the game less fun and more frustrating to play, but it also makes it incredibly boring to watch. TvX matchup will get extremely boring after a while. Luckily, Terran has the most options out of all the races as far as doing cool and interesting builds that are viable. Hmmm maybe that's why they're represented so much.

I think alot of imba early game play from terran can be fixed with better maps, also maybe the patch will come out before the next qualifers so that will give our friendly zerg players a better chance to compete.

Ok. So one Terran and a Zerg are joining the fight.

- Added SjoW from Sweden and Skruf from Norway to the list of players in qualification round 1

The last chance qualifiers is being played right now and is down to LucifroN, ThorZain, Dark.Force and HasuObs/NightEnd. Only one will qualify.

I actually wonder about that to.

People talk about the 1.1 patch that will be like a god-send thing that will balance the MU's completely.

The only thing that I see is that it got harder for Protoss early game.

And in ZvT

A siege tank with +1 will always one shot lings + blings, wich are basicly the only unit affected by the change in that MU (and ye hydra's, but come on, hydra's in ZvT?).

But would be nice to hear someone good his opinion on this :p

IdrA does....
It's the logical beginning of balancing the game. Sort out the early game then we can see what happens to the midgame.
On same maps Zergs will be able to go hatch first again... this is a BIG difference.

I think if we're going to have the round of 16 be all TvTs we should disallow usage of the following units:

- Marauder
- Siege Tank
- Battlecruisers

Would make the matchups far more fun. Imagine someone going Raven and get HSM and actually using it for the greater good.

Semi-OT, but has anyone noticed how there's almost a regional divide of races right now?

EU events seems to have an overwhelming # of Terran players
NA events have a very strong Protoss representation
Korea has a strong zerg population (actually more myth than fact, but still)

Kinda interesting how it's developing.

It's true. You never see a Zerg "talent". Only DIMAGA can compete with EU Terrans because his skill level is much higher than the Terrans. It shouldn't have to be like that.

take a look at GSL and how many of each race are out
its not a proof for terran beeing imba, but actually its hard to find _any_ statistic that doesnt favor T
